YIKES! That's quite a load. I just ran the numbers, $343.75 with tax for 10,450 rounds of hollow point ammo from wal-mart. By the way, why that particular amount?

No kidding! At the rate I've been using it, that will last me about 116 years.

10,000 is a good generally-accepted number for rim fire ammo storage. If you only have a single .22 firearm, you could probably get away with 2-5K instead of 10, but the nice thing about .22 ammo is that it is extremely small, extremely cheap (try pricing 10,000 rounds of .223 or .38 for example), and if you find yourself in a "no retail" situation, that figure gives you enough room to barter some ammo for other things you might need/want.
Also, to ease the "sting" of the price, just buy an extra 500 (or 100) rounds every payday and put them away. In no time, you've got your 10K laid in.

Correction, 116 shooting days. 116 years would be 90 rounds a year. oops

OK, that explains everything. Thanks!

If you want to go inexpensive, the Big 5 stores in WA state are currently running a sale on a home-defense model 12 gauge pump shotgun. It is a Norinco (Chinese) copy of a Remington 870 and is sold under the "Interstate" name.
The guns get decent reviews as good, inexpensive little shooters and they sell like crazy.
The Big 5 sale on them ends tomorrow, but they go on sale every few weeks there. Even if the store is out of the gun, they can give you a rain check and honor the sale price when the guns come in.

Nonsense according to the Seanators website Yeah. Let's check the website and not look at his legislative record, shall we? Cause in the dying MSM we know, the best guide to future behaviour is airy promises, not past behaviour.

Elder5,
the best home defense gun is a short-barreled open-choked (18”) 12-ga pump shotgun, loaded with bird shot. Handguns require steady practice to shoot effectively, and most rifles and carbines will overpenetrate in most houses.
The sound of a Remington 870 slide being racked will usually register on whatever brain stem a criminal has and impel him to exit your house by the most expeditious means, without injuring anybody — best case outcome, that.
If you do have to fire it, the shotgun is a point and shoot weapon, terrifying even in the unlikely event you miss — it’s hard to miss with all pellets with bird shot, if you hit with any pellets you’ve increased the likelihood he’ll flee (and be caught; even Barney Fife can follow a blood trail or grab a guy in an emergency room), and if you hit with all pellets the guy will be over as a threat and probably as a living organism.
Shotguns like that are used for hunting deer in overdeveloped northeastern states that forbid rifle hunting, so they will be available even after Obama’s semi-auto ban, at least for a while.
Military style rifles will probably be banned again. In 1994, this led to an extreme escalation in prices, which reduced back out when the ban sunset.
